Tea or Books? #8: biography vs autobiography and I Capture the Castle vs Guard Your Daughters
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Tea-or-Books-episode-8.mp3
In this episode Dodie Smith’s much-loved I Capture the Castle goes up against Diana Tutton’s lesser-known Guard Your Daughters, and we debate the merits of biographies and autobiographies.
Somewhat to my surprise, we didn’t actually end up talking about all that many individual books – the list is below – so do let us know which biographies and autobiographies you particularly love (and which you’d choose if you had to make the Tea or Books? decision!)
